You see, the thing is... you can argue all you want about not importing food from China but unless Cadbury had told you you would never know that the milk products it used in its chocolates came from China. The label on says who manufactured it and where (e.g. Cadbury in New Hampshire... or somewhere in the west). The lable does not tell you that they sourced their processed coco from Venezuela, their processed milk from China, their processed cane sugar from Indonesia and their high fructose corn syrup from the US.

Globalization has flattened the world to the point where, in many cases, you cannot say where the components for your new handheld device or your processed chocolate bar come from...
